The course is in pretty good shape because no many play the course… prices are to high compared to courses around the area.

In addition, on the ninth hole coming down the cart path to my drive, I almost got hit by a driving range ball with high velocity. The range is too close to the ninth hole…. Pala needs to fix this!

Worth the trip

Layout of the course is fair, although there are a couple holes that are pretty tight off of the tee. Smaller than average green size, so if you hit 50% of the GIR, you played pretty darn good! Bunkering at this course is very good, and the sand is great to play out of. I found several bunkers(mainly greenside), and found all of them to be fair. Putting from above the hole on a couple of the greens was tricky, but overall very fair on these surfaces. The tee boxes are OK, the Kikuyu grass was new to me, but still fun to try and figure out, and it was overall a good experience. Range was mats only, but that is only a minor down side.

1st Timer

Fun course, narrow fairways, rewarded for hitting straight drives. Wasn't overly busy like most courses. Back nine was very scenic

Just an overall great course.

Have no complaints at all. Greens, fairways, etc were all in good condition. I’ll definitely be back here to play

Challenging course with true rolling greens

The course is in good shape. A few bare spots around the greens but otherwise good. The greens rolled true. They were well kept. The highlight was the sand in the bunkers. Softest, well-maintained in every single bunker. It was very impressive. You can play a real bunker shot. It’s best to avoid, I know, but when you find yourself in it, it is a luxury to have real sand. The course has a nice layout. Definitely challenging from the blue tees.

Fun but slow

Very playable course with a helpful staff. Played on a Saturday mid-morning and play was slow. No evidence of marshals. Overall, would play again and recommend to others.

Great Looking course for fair price

The course is in great condition all the tee boxes and greens were perfect and the bunkers had good sand. I was able to play a morning round of 18 in 3 hours with one other person it was pretty open. I think the location causes less traffic on the course but if it isn’t in a bad spot for you then I would highly recommend!

Not worth $119

Greens are slow and patchy. Fairways are ok but could be better..was told a rumor that $3 million was invested into course. Probably was a rumor because I didn't see it other than they have new carts

This course is probably $80 to $90 dollar course

Great layout and fun course to play.

The front nine greens were in great shape. The back nine greens had some rough spots and could use some care. Fairways were great. Sand traps were in great shape. Tee boxes could use some care. Overall I liked this course and will play here again.
